Mattel reveals Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection WWE action figure set
Mattel has announced a new three-pack action figure set featuring stars of the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection era.
The Mattel Creations product page revealed on Wednesday that Cyndi Lauper, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and Captain Lou Albano will be part of the WWE Rock N Wrestling Connection 3-Pack. The set is inspired by the June 16, 1984 edition of Piper’s Pit.
The three-pack officially goes on sale on July 23 and is listed for $80 USD. The set will include Lauper’s first WWE action figure, along with figures of Piper and Albano.
The Mattel website reads:
“The June 16, 1984, episode of Piper’s Pit would go down in history as the start of something huge: the Rock ‘n Roll Connection. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper™ interviewed pop star Cyndi Lauper™, Captain Lou Albano™ crashed the conversation, and chaos ensued! It was the start of an epic era of collaboration between music video makers and WWE® Superstars, which launched WWE into the cultural mainstream and led to the creation of WrestleMania®. We’re paying tribute to this iconic moment, just in time for SDCC, with this throwback figure set.”
